Hello crossfire.
Steam Greenlight has finally started. For those who do not know what it is: SteamGreenlight
To have the possibility to even have our game featured on this page we have to convince the developer, because they have to do the request on the steampage.
I wanted to do a post on their forums, but someone was faster, so I will use his post to do what I am going to ask you community.
Go to this link: http://forums.warchestgames.com/showthread.php/32687-Steam-Geenlight-is-here and write a comment where you show your support to et and ask splashdamage to feature their game on steam.
I know we can do it, if they see how many people love this game they will do it immediately. Ofc it will be hard to get the game from this list full of wannabe steamgames to the steamshop, but we will think about that after/if splashdamage make a decision.
EDIT: I have written an email, where I wrote about this project and I linked to the discussion on their forum. I asked them if there is any chance of them being still interested in this game. Lets see if they answer.

so easy
This is such a good opportunity to help this game but it's too late for the competitive part when you have to wait several years to see good players by assuming that the steam thing could work.
Was pain at beginning tho
firstly, white color is kiling me, than everything else..
@ hommie: There was a lot of work and knowledge and time needed to develop mods like they are currently standing. Some are still making them (pub mods). I think its worth a shot!
Spread the word and let's do this
They will see a FREE game and maybe some of them will try it, after all its FREE :D. Best way to promote our game so far
just as many who put in the effort to play ET since 2003. :D people will always have problems downloading games, but with Steam it'll be MUCH more simple as everything will be downloaded at once and probably all maps would be updated by steam when you download the game. it'd be like downloading an even more filled ET Pack than we already have. =P
We can do this, or we can cry and do nothing for ET.
Also, I guess to make a game compatible with Steam it would need some work by SD/id. Why would they invest time and money on bringing ET to Steam? They cant sell a free game.
I really would like to have ET on Steam be more accessible and more popular than it is now, but I don't see what SD, id and Valve would gain from it.
Do you think spending some time on ET will affect them so much? Anyway, if they will adopte ET they will adopt its comunity => clicks on steam's page, potentialy new costumers for other Steam games. Idk, I think they know why they started the SteamGreenlight . As long as they accept ET, i don't really care how they will cover the costs
The real issue is the second point, Splash Damage. At the very least they'd have to remove all the PunkBuster stuff from the game, since Even Balance dropped support. Likely they'd need to fix some bugs here and there, and I don't see that happening. Even if they did, releasing a new version of ET would probably break some mods (like ETPro, which checks ET.exe, and ETPro probably wouldn't get an update to work with the Steam version).
It would still be awesome, though.
Also for cs you don't need brain. There are a lot of ppl who don't like to use their brain when playing PC games
Are they? All the news I've read about QL (though not much, recently) says they're running it at a loss. The in-game advertising failed, and I guess the premium accounts aren't enough to make the game profitable (and from what I can tell searching around, it never was).
I agree with you all the recent games on the iD Tech engines haven't been great, though (arguably ETQW was alright, once they patched it). I guess we'll see how Doom 4 turns out.
the same thing happened to Brink. iD + SD are really slow following the release of a game, they sure put a hell of a lot into the development but after it's out they don't do any modifications to please their 'future' community -> all their games die in less than 6 months.
Posted,we can do it crossfire.
2. We need cups with .. money.
3. Ladder games need to be played again.
4. Lan parties are extremely necessary.
but being honest, people will be back playing this at september/november, it was summer, kinda normal.
2. myself i dont need cups with money, but would be better for this game to make it more attractive
3. agree but atm its summer, will be better when oc/ec will start hopefully
4. well we had like 3 lans this year, i guess its enough?!
new people are too lazy to use tzac as anti cheat Software for some etpro Server.
in fact, it was harder to play ET between 2003-2009 because of the PB problems and stuff. probably like 75% of people who ever tried to download ET and play uninstalled it after getting kicked by PB for random issues. there are no kicks nowadays and at least TZAC is easy to use. :) you only get kicked if you went 999.
